neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Water (2026) is a film about the crash of the US-led international order, the feeding-frenzy-like american culture of individualism and murderous entitlement, and the help that will come to its people from fully chill and cool China. Aaron Eckhart stars. Also it's a killer shark movie. 2.75/5
negative · AI labelView post →Deep Blue Sea director Renny Harlin dives back into shark-infested waters with DEEP WATER, and it's been acquired by the theatrical distributor behind Strange Darling:
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw 'Deep Water', which is a typical fun disaster/shark movie. Not great at all but entertaining! I love shark movies, even the bad ones! 🦈😆 Was excited to have Thai food as I keep trying to find a great place but have had no luck. Unfortunately it wasn't good. 😆 The spring rolls were though! 😋
neutral · AI labelView post →EXCLUSIVE POSTER: Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea) returns to the shark attack genre with new movie DEEP WATER. From producer Gene Simmons, Deep Water will release in theaters May 1. Ben Kingsley & Aaron Eckhart star.

neutral · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin's shark attack movie DEEP WATER has been rated "R" for "violent content/bloody images and some language." In theaters May 1.
neutral · AI labelView post →Time for Deep Water, which I can only presume exists because Renny Harlin wanted to do another shark movie and got started with “I dunno, I’ll call it ‘Deep’ something again, sharks like deep.” 🦈
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Water is the best shark movie Aaron Eckhart has ever made.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had no idea DEEP WATER was originally planned as a sequel to 2012's BAIT 3D but got scrapped because of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 incident ... until Gene Simmons saved and co-produced the film almost a decade later. A real sentence.
neutral · AI labelView post →We’re watching a film called Deep Water about a plane crash. We’re flying to Menorca next week.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thank Poseidon, we actually got a halfway-decent shark-attack horror movie! DEEP WATER is the better version of NO WAY UP, primarily because Ben Kingsley gets to be a slutty little pilot who sings flight-themed karaoke.
positive · AI labelView post →2026 Shark Movie Report Card: THRASH > DEEP WATER > THE DEVIL'S MOUTH Verdict is still out on ABOVE & BELOW. Disregarding CHUM for being AI slop.
positive · AI labelView post →The director of DEEP BLUE SEA is back with a vicious new shark thriller where nobody is safe. DEEP WATER is a mean-spirited flick and, even though it often looks cheap and the ending is haphazrdly edited together, it's a hoot. My review is at @thewrap.com!
neutral · AI labelView post →Never forget Ana De Armas in ‘Deep Water’ even though most people have probably forgotten about the movie entirely by this point.

neutral · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin's DEEP WATER, which of course recalls his DEEP BLUE SEA in its fusing of disaster flick and shark thriller, represents both a flex and a eulogy in the twilight wasteland of contemporary cinema: www.vulture.com/article/deep...

neutral · AI labelView post →I had fun with Renny Harlin's weird and mean new shark movie DEEP WATER. But if you had told me it would have higher critic and audience scores on RT than a new David Lowery I'd have said no way. Kippis, Renny!
positive · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin's DEEP WATER is now out in theaters. And as a reminder, this movie was salvaged from plans for a sequel to BAIT 3D (2012). I wrote about that Aussie shark gem last year at @bloody-disgusting.com
unlabelledView post →DEEP WATER! Not the Adrian Lyne movie—this one’s a new Renny Harlin disaster/sharksploitation pic starring Aaron Eckhart. Worth seeking out their 2nd collaboration, after the cheesy, but sturdy 2023 JOHN WICK-sploitation actioner THE BRICKLAYER? Sure! More @avclub.com: www.avclub.com/deep-water-r...
positive · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin is also back in the shark movie game this year, though he doesn't have a prayer of matching his @finflicks.bsky.social masterpiece. Here's hoping DEEP WATER and THRASH deliver the goods! Until then, our hats remain like a shark's fin. @genrevision.com genrevision.com/posts/fin-fl...
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait...Renny Harlin has another movie called DEEP WATER coming out, when Adrian Lyne's DEEP WATER is less than five years old?? We really have to cut it out with 75 movies having the same title now y'all, this is one of my current industry pet peeves.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me when I watched that movie Deep Water about lost scuba divers on a transatlantic flight when I was in college.
neutral · AI labelView post →My soul keeps crying out for a new Adrian Lyne movie but I’ve still not watched Deep Water…
neutral · AI labelView post →Re-watched the film Deep Water last night. It’s not GOOD, exactly, but it is Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas in a poorly-negotiated but canonically overt cuckolding dynamic, so there’s that... A mostly mediocre but occasionally screamingly delightful movie about murder & masculinity
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Water (2026) 3/5 🦈🦈🦈 Reasons: Few of unrealistic and some characters can be stupid Comment: Good movie, great disaster scene at beginning and heartfelt ending
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Renny Harlin's Deep Water (because I told my husband I don't care what movie we watched, always a mistake) and yet again getting Aaron Eckhart confused with Tom Jane.
neutral · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin’s return to shark films doesn’t reach the heights of DEEP BLUE SEA (imo), but DEEP WATER is a solid survival movie with a grand action set piece (the plane crash)! Worth seeing on the biggest screen you can find with the largest bucket of popcorn & a soda in hand. #filmsky #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →I found the shark and action stuff entertaining in Renny Harlin's new movie, DEEP WATER (2026). The forced sappiness, though? I could've done with less of that. My thoughts:
neutral · AI labelView post →Austin Film Festival likes A GRAVE IN DEEP WATER: For refugees trapped in a lost-at-sea shipping container, the only thing worse than slow death in a sinking steel box is "rescue" by a sadistic billionaire. Their only hope is a traumatized Yazidi woman who is more than she seems.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's kind of astonishing that the best Fin Flick of the year is HUNGRY. Seriously, in a year with THRASH, DEEP WATER, and THE DEVIL'S MOUTH, it's the killer hippo movie that's making a cheeky reference to a kid's game that has done it best.

neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Water finally got released! They filmed a scene at Maspalomas beach in December 2023. 2023! Everyone walking along the beach had to detour inland a bit. I asked someone what was going on because I love a film shoot, and Ben Kingsley was apparently in that white tent.

neutral · AI labelView post →When your calculations about what to see at the multiplex tonight are not predicated on the film you WANT to see but on which audience is least likely to be annoying & necessitate walking out before the end. MAITRES DE L'UNIVERS? SCARY MOVIE? WASTEMAN? STAR WARS? DEEP WATER? (The Spielberg can wait)

neutral · AI labelView post →Renny Harlin crossbreeds a '70s-style airline disaster movie with a shark smorgasbord in DEEP WATER starring Aaron Eckhart. It's no DEEP BLUE SEA (the story could almost be told in emojis: ✈️🔥😱🌊🦈🦈💩) but it has its share of gnarly B-movie charms. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's film is Deep Water (2026). More shark related shenanigans from Renny Harlin with Ben Kingsley as part of the line up of apex predator fodder.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I watched the film Deep Water last night. It was OK overall, certainly better than Chum, another recent shark flic, by a long way. The plane crash sequence however, is one of the most terrifying I've seen on screen. #DeepWaterMovie

neutral · AI labelView post →I love a good (and not so good) shark movie. Tonight's foray into toothy fictional fish is Deep Water. A plane crashes into open ocean. Surprisingly high quality. The crash sequence is super brutal before sharks even get involved. So far, not a bad movie overall.
